Connection refused : Nginx HTTPS reverse proxy in docker container

General
1

Hi,

I wanted to setup https reverse proxy with nginx on docker container either ubuntu/centos. On Browser side, I am getting connection refused error. And also, I cannot see anything under /var/log/nginx/access.log or /var/log/nginx/error.log.

I am able to setup http reverse proxy with nginx on docker container again. And, also https reverse proxy with nginx on normal ubuntu and centos virtual machines.

Can understand the reason why https reverse proxy with nginx on docker containers is failing to connect from browser.?

If any additional information needed, I can provide you. Thanks in advance.

I don’t see anything obviously wrong with this nginx config file.

How are you running nginx?
